If you've been patiently waiting for us to catch up on opening and adding the stock from all those boxes we shared in the last newsletter then we're here to let you know that the wait is over! So here's a quick run down of what's been added in the last 4 days!
ALTENEW
Along with the regular floral and stencil kits, this month from Altenew we get the first Christmas release of 2026 and it's got some stunning pieces which are already flying out the door. There are some brilliant 3D embossing folders featuring footsteps in a wood, a buildable poinsettia and a poinsettia cluster with a matching stencil. There is also a die and embossing folder kit which provides super detailed frames that would look amazing in gold foil and a brilliant stamp and die kit which pops a winter scene in a cup of coffee!
We also got lots of restocks which are flying out again too, especially last months whispering waves embossing folder and all the colours of cardstock we restocked.
CONCORD AND 9TH
We finished adding Concord and 9th last night but too late to send a newsletter so we're including it in today's big roundup. This latest collection includes a new 3D die to make shadow boxes super easy, a brilliant sky themed set with balloons, airplanes and clouds, a very zen lotus collection, big thank you sentiments and much more!
Again we have restocks on all ink pads, reinkers and card colours too!
KRISTINA WERNER
This month Kristina has more wonderful stencils and matching dies featuring her signature floral patterns which are easy to repeat and great for making two smaller card panels in one sitting as well as some more frame dies and pattern stamps. We have restocks on lots of others too as requested.
PINKFRESH STUDIO
We've JUST finished adding the last two collections from Pinkfresh Studio - paper in 2 sizes from their latest scrapbook release, plus the whole of the latest Quiet Moments release which has lots of stamps, dies and stencils on a calming back to nature theme along with some great sentiments for sending those thinking of you and motivational cards.
They have also now allowed retailers access to their EasyBlend Grip Mats which they released a few weeks ago so we've added those in all 3 sizes too!
EU ORDER SUSPENSION
For our EU customers, we are afraid it is not good news - it seems many countries within the EU have stopped allowing DDU shipments and will only accept orders via IOSS where the value is under €150 but it appears to be a moving goalpost at the moment. We cannot become a member of the IOSS scheme as the burden of accounting for the VAT on a monthly basis is just too much for a small store like ours. The changes implemented on 1st July are the first step ahead of another change coming in November 2026. As the situation changes every time we log onto the portal to get the latest information, we cannot get a definitive answer as to what is required by each country. We cannot afford to change the whole system only to then have to do it again in November as the number of development hours is massive every time we change the shipping details.
We are sorry to say therefore that it is very unlikely that we will be able to implement a new shipping solution before November 2026 and it may be that for some countries we will only be able to ship orders with a value over €150 going forward.
Non-EU Countries are NOT AFFECTED by these changes at present.
That's all the news for this week.
Don't forget to check out the amazing inspiration our Design Team brings you on a weekly basis over on our blog - the latest posts are also featured on the front page of the store so it's always easy to find them! Our team provide lots of hints, tips and tricks to help you get the most out of the products we sell and if you have any specific requests on things you would like help with, or would like to see us feature, then drop us an email and Tara will try and help as best she can.
Happy Crafting!
